“Your gaze. The way you look at me. I can’t concentrate.”

i think I’ll love you forever, maybe even a little longer after that
“I feel like we are consistently trying to put off our ending but I don’t think its in our hands anymore. The distance between us is only getting larger with time but we still just can’t let go. Its been so long since we had a real conversation and I find myself missing the memories with you, a lot more than I miss you. It hurts me to admit this, but I don’t think there are sparks here anymore.. and I’ve used all the matches in the world to try and ignite something again but I think its time to admit that we are simply just burnt out.. I know you said we are going to be okay, but its been 2 weeks since I’ve last seen you and it just seems like our time is used for something else now. I think we just have to be honest with eachother and admit that somewhere down the line something changed and i need you to know that I don’t blame you.. I don’t blame you because I got tired of fighting for this too. I still love you with my entire heart, I just think we need change.”

““I compare him to you a lot,” she says, a smile growing on her lips. “The way he looks at me, you never looked at me like that. Like I was something precious, something to cherish. You never listened, you’d brush away my views and opinions and insist you were right. He doesn’t. He listens, takes in my view and respects it. You never held me like he does. You’d make it seem like a chore, something you had to do. He takes my hand when I don’t expect it, pulls me close and kisses me like he can’t stop himself.” Her smile is beaming, but it’s not for him. Not anymore. “I compare him to you a lot because now I see how bad you were for me. I thought I was happy with you, but now I know I am so much happier with him than I ever was with you.””

“But you loved her? Yes. And she loved you? Yes. Then why did it end? Because love and compatibility are not always the same thing.”

“I’m not sorry for wanting more than you were willing to give. I won’t apologize for knowing that I deserved more.”
— r.h. Sin
“You deserve someone who knows how to make things up to you after hurting you. Not someone who is very good with just the word, “sorry.””

“Take it from someone who didn’t believe she was worthy of the kind of love people envied or read books about; and no matter how badly I wished for it, I convinced myself that maybe it wasn’t enough. I’m here to tell you that you deserve the love that’s a safe haven on your darkest nights; the kind of love that chooses you each and every time - from the moment you get up to the moment you lay your head down; the kind of romance that makes you forget the rain ruined your adventures; the love that feels like a warm cup of tea or soup on a winter day. You deserve the kind of love that lets you feel, feel so much that you can’t help but be yourself.”
When you love someone more than they deserve, they’ll probably hurt you more than you deserve.
“Is that all you want to be? Liked? Wouldn’t you rather be passionately and voraciously desired?”
— Margaret Atwood, from “Bodily Harm,”
An open letter to the Girl Who Deserves Better
I saw you cry last night and the other night. I mean, I see you cry every night. I’m a bit confused for I always see you smile every day. I hear you laugh every day. You talk to him like everything’s fine.
You keep on asking yourself, “what’s the matter?” yet you’re never ready to hear the answer. You make yourself believe that everything’s fine when in reality, IT’S NOT.
You know it, the problem, yet you refuse to accept. You know that YOU DESERVE BETTER however, you also believe that YOU DESERVE HIM. I can’t blame you for loving him. But honey, you——– deserve better.
I’m not saying that he’s not enough but his love…… maybe, his love is not enough. You get meee????
You deserve a guy that asks you how your day went.
You deserve a guy who can’t stand being mad at you for a long time.
You deserve a guy who can’t stand not talking to you.
You deserve a guy that still gets butterflies whenever he sees you.
You deserve a guy who forgets about his anger when you kissed him.
You deserve a guy who’s always there when you need someone to talk to.
You deserve a guy who won’t let your conversation end.
You deserve a guy that shows you how much he misses you, everyday.
You deserve a guy who gives you attention and affection without you having to ask for it.
You deserve a guy who listens to your stories, even the nonsense ones.
You deserve a guy whose efforts are consistent.
You deserve a guy who won’t let you stay sad.
You deserve a guy who will stay into you no matter how long your relationship gets.
You deserve a guy who will accept you and love you for who you are.
You deserve a guy whose willing to give up his bad habits for you. (if he can’t do it for himself)
You deserve a guy who helps you appreciate yourself more.
You deserve a guy who makes time for you.
You deserve a guy who’s loyal to you.
You deserve a guy who asks you if you have eaten your dinner already.
You deserve a guy who’s proud to have you.
You deserve a guy who believes in you.
You deserve a guy who will never get tired cheering you up.
You deserve a guy who sees your worth.
You deserve a guy who loves you unconditionally.
You deserve a guy who values you.
A guy who treats you dinner or brings you to a date is good. A guy who gives you flowers is good. A guy who sends kiss emojis is good. A guy who gives you your favorite chocolates is good. But it’s not all about those, LOVE IS SO MUCH MORE. AND YOU, YOU DESERVE TO BE LOVED AND BE IN LOVE.
